Digital Certificate FAQs

Understand the essentials of Digital Certificates—what they are, how they work, and why they’re critical for securing websites, verifying identities, and protecting online communications.

What is meant by a digital certificate?

A digital certificate is an electronic credential issued by a trusted authority to verify the identity of a website, individual, or organization. It enables secure communication by confirming that data is being transmitted to the intended recipient and not an imposter.

What is the most common type of digital certificate?

The most widely used digital certificate is the SSL/TLS certificate, which is used to secure websites. It ensures that data exchanged between a user’s browser and a website is encrypted and protected from interception.

Can I create my own digital certificate?

Yes, it’s possible to create a self-signed digital certificate. However, these are not trusted by default in most browsers and devices. For public trust and broad compatibility, certificates should be issued by a recognized Certificate Authority (CA).

What are the disadvantages of digital certificates?

While digital certificates provide strong security benefits, they can also introduce complexity. Challenges include managing expiration dates, ensuring proper installation, and keeping up with evolving compliance standards and browser requirements.

Why are digital certificates important for website security?

Digital certificates are critical for encrypting online communications and verifying the authenticity of websites. They help prevent data breaches, phishing attacks, and other cyber threats by ensuring that users are interacting with legitimate, secured platforms.
